Shahabuddin's letter to Sri Kapil Sibal

Subject:- Hinduisation of School Syllabus in Madhya Pradesh

13 March 2010


Dear Sri Sibal,
            The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Sri Shivraj Sihgh Couhan, proposes to introduce Gita Gyan in the school syllabus and therefore to prescribe  Bhagwad Gita from Class I to Class X. We regard this yet another step towards Hinduisation of the school system and, school culture. Such an innovative will alienate Muslim parents & motivate them not to send their children to school.  Since school education is financed largely by the Central Government, we request you to monitor the school syllabus & course.
            We request you to advise him not to go ahead with his scheme.
                        With kind regards,


Yours sincerely,

( Syed Shahabuddin)
